Diplomacy

Theory and Practice

Beschreibung

This fully revised and expanded sixth edition of Diplomacy, written by an internationally respected researcher and teacher of the subject, is richly illustrated with examples from the worlds of health and commerce as well as high politics. The instances included are mostly contemporary, but considerable historical background to the diplomatic methods themselves is always provided. Among other features, new to this edition is a list of topics for seminar discussion or essays, as well as annotated further reading at the end of each chapter.

Following a chapter on the foreign ministry, Part I of this book deals with the art of negotiation (prenegotiations, around-the-table negotiations, diplomatic momentum, packaging agreements, and following up); Part II covers conventional modes of diplomacy (embassies, telecommunications, consulates, secret intelligence by 'legals', conferences, summits, and public diplomacy); and Part III examines diplomacy in hostile circumstances (embassy substitutes such as representative offices and interests sections, special missions, and mediation). Students and educators of diplomacy will find much of value in the latest edition of this highly regarded and much-cited textbook.

Rezensionen

''Probably the most prolific contemporary writer on diplomacy is Professor Geoff R. Berridge [ ] Each of his many books is impeccably well written and full of insights into the fascinating formation of modern diplomacy'' Robert William Dry, New York University, USA, and Chairman of AFSA's Committee on the Foreign Service Profession and Ethics

''I discovered Geoff Berridge's book on diplomacy after serving as a diplomat for over 30 years. It is well researched, sophisticated, inspiring and, where the subject invites it, suitably ironic. I used the 4th edition with my students and will now continue working with the 5th edition.'' - Dr Max Schweizer, Head of Foreign Affairs and Applied Diplomacy, ZHAW School of Management and Law,

Switzerland

''Berridge's Diplomacy is an enlightening journey that takes the student, the practitioner and the general reader from the front to the backstage of current diplomatic practice. The thoroughly updated and expanded text also enriched with a stimulating new treatment of embassies is an invaluable guide to the stratagems and outcomes, continuities and innovations, of a centuries' long process.'' Arianna Arisi Rota, Professor of History of Diplomacy at the University of Pavia, Italy

''Berridge confirms with this new edition not only his profound and panoramic knowledge of diplomacy but also his very user-friendly style. No matter the expectations, the end result is an enjoyable reading experience. As a diplomat I like to think that our profession is a beautiful one, and there is no doubt that this book makes it look even better.'' Petru Dumitriu, in a review for DiploFoundation
